Management consultants
specializing in government

With Plante & Moran’s history of serving hundreds of governmental units, we are particularly well suited to advise them on management issues. The following is a sampling of some of our consulting services.

Collaboration / Shared Services

Local government leaders are asking more frequently how they can share services with neighboring communities to increase efficiency and save money. But . . . how to begin? If you are asking that question, Plante & Moran can help with answers. We have experience evaluating collaborative arrangements between cities and counties, including police, fire, dispatch, public works, economic development, and a host of other areas. We are helping many clients expand their collaborations beyond the traditional large-capital projects.

Project Feasibility Analysis

Independent, objective advice is the cornerstone of our professional services. We have helped communities evaluate hundreds of opportunities from transit services to recreational facilities. We test assumptions and provide the analytics to help public officials make solid decisions.

Organizational Analysis

We can tap the experience of a team of operations improvement experts to help you take a close look at the way you do things. For years, we have assisted clients at the state and local levels improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. Reviews have ranged from assessing an entire organization to one particular process. 

Public Safety  

Plante & Moran management consultants specializing in government can help you review your public safety operations: police, fire, and EMS. We have developed a methodology to review these critical functions to ensure rapid response and justify staffing levels and equipment purchases. We also can determine if regionalization could improve service and save money.
